First thank you for the script, I’ll test it shortly and upload it if it works here as it works for you ;)
And *big* thanks for what is a good sample code for options management, that will allow me to get rid of $PREFIX, $COMPRESSION & $CHECKSUM for more user-friendly switches (--prefix='/some/path', --compression='none|gzip|xz' & --checksum='md5|none' or something like this).

instructions for the Spanish version of the game:
1. Download the script, then put in a same directory the script and the GOG .exe installer (setup_nwn_diamond_spanish_2.0.0.15.exe, setup_nwn_diamond_spanish_2.0.0.15-1.bin & setup_nwn_diamond_spanish_2.0.0.15-2.bin);
2. In the same directory, download the following archives that will provide the script with the necessary files to build the Linux client:
nwclientgold.tar.gz
nwclienthotuintl.tar.gz
Spanish_linuxclient168_xp2.tar.gz
3. Check the script dependencies. To run, this script needs the following packages to be installed on your system:
fakeroot, innoextract, icoutils
4. Open a terminal in the directory containing the script, then run it via the following command:

That’s it! The script will take a couple minutes to work its magic, and end by giving you the commands to launch as root to install the freshly built .deb package.vv221

To add movies support to the Linux client, you first need to install the following packages:
_32-bit system: gcc, libelf-dev, libsdl1.2-dev
_64-bit system: gcc, gcc-multilib, libelf-dev:i386, libsdl1.2-dev
In addition to the archives listed in step 2. of the instructions in the first post, download the following one:
nwmovies-mpv.tar.gz
Then, add the adequate option to the command given in step 4.:
_32-bit system: gcc, libelf-dev, libsdl1.2-dev
_64-bit system: gcc, gcc-multilib, libelf-dev:i386, libsdl1.2-dev
In addition to the archives listed in step 2. of the instructions in the first post, download the following one:
nwmovies-mpv.tar.gz
Then, add the adequate option to the command given in step 4.:
sh ./play-neverwinter-nights_gog-2.0.0.15.sh --with-nwmovies

That’s nice to know, especially as the Spanish version is the less tested on my side (I understand well only English and French).
Now to work on the editor support… It might not be added before a little while, I’m currently working on rewriting my old script to put them to the same quality level than the NWN one. And there’s quite a lot of them ;)
Plus I’m working on scripts for a very well-known turned-based strategy games series in a fantasy universe…
Well, let’s say it’s a time-consuming project, but seeing you people using the results and enjoying them is a great reward!

Just tested the new script on Ubuntu MATE 15.04 and it works beautifully. Having the movies is really nice and makes the game feel a lot more polished. It might be worth mentioning that mpv by default binds escape to come out of fullscreen view. So if you want to skip the movies you need to use q not esc.
Apart from that it's absolutely brilliant. thanks!

The nwmovies implementation has been done by kilobug, he’s the one deserving your thanks ;)

Looks like the 'realpath' command is not available on you system. On Debian it is provided by the 'coreutils' package, but it seems that it’s not the case on your system.
Try the following command, and if it actually installs a package give another try to the script afterwards:

I got a chance to complete the install at home and everything seems to be working great! Thank you for you work and assistance on this. As a possible future enhancement, might be nice to have an option to install CEP? :)
Anyway, thank you very much!

This script will only work on Debian and other .deb-based distributions (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, SteamOS, etc.). For a general purpose archive you should try the one built by Ganni1987.

Hello fellow Debian users, Ubuntu lovers and Mint freaks!
Here you’ll find a script allowing you to turn your .exe installer of Neverwinter Nights Diamond into a .deb package, allowing to install it through DPKG and remove it through any APT front-end (apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, etc.).
The game installed via this package will not use WINE but the official Bioware Linux client.
First thing first, here you can download the script:
GOG release 2.0.0.15: http://www.dotslashplay.it/scripts/play-neverwinter-nights_gog-2.0.0.15.sh
(updated on 2015-08-03)
Following instructions are for the English version of the game. For installers of other languages, go to the dedicated post.
1. Download the script, then put in a same directory the script and the GOG .exe installer (setup_nwn_diamond_2.0.0.15.exe, setup_nwn_diamond_2.0.0.15-1.bin & setup_nwn_diamond_2.0.0.15-2.bin);
2. In the same directory, download the following archives that will provide the script with the necessary files to build the Linux client:
nwclientgold.tar.gz
nwclienthotu.tar.gz
English_linuxclient169_xp2.tar.gz
3. Check the script dependencies. To run, this script needs the following packages to be installed on your system:
fakeroot, innoextract, icoutils
4. Open a terminal in the directory containing the script, then run it via the following command:
sh ./play-neverwinter-nights_gog-2.0.0.15.sh
That’s it! The script will take a couple minutes to work its magic, and end by giving you the commands to launch as root to install the freshly built .deb package.

advanced usage

movies support

Any return, be it a bug report, a suggestion, a request, a demand for clarification, an insult or a simple "thank you" is welcome in this thread. Requests for similar scripts for other GOG games should go via the chat or in the dedicated thread:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/linux_todays_debian_game_compatible_with_ubuntu_mint_steamos_etc
I hope you’ll enjoy these scripts as much as I enjoy writing and tweaking them ;)

Here you go for more supported games!
-----
2015-08-03: movies support added as an option
Thanks to kilobug who wrote the code for this option!
options management done via switches (--prefix=) instead of variables (PREFIX=), based on kilobug’s code
a new option has been added: '--help'
2015-07-30: support for the Spanish version of the game added
Thanks to DebianLinuxero for requesting it!
script’s target checksums for .exe/.bin files updated
Thanks to BezZeMad for pointing out the silent update of the GOG installers!
I really love this game, and to finally be able to run it in linux without wine really makes me happy :D. I also saw your instruction for Heroes of Might and Magic III, definitely going to try that later.
Cheers..!!
